Question 1006623: Find the median through (-2, -5) of the triangle
whose vertices are (-6, 2), (2, -2), and (-2, -5)
Answer by Cromlix(4381)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
First find the midpoint between
points(-6,2) and point(2,-2)
Mid point formula:
x1 + x2/2, y1 + y2/2
(-6 + 2)/2 , (2 +(-2))/2
= (-2,0)
Gradient of median.
(-2,5) and (-2,0)
Formula:
y2 - y1/x2 - x1
= (0 - 5)/-2 - (-2))
= -5/0
Zero gradient
Median is x = -2
Hope this helps :-)
